Hello, my name is Allison Coffey and this semester begins my 24th year in the classroom. I love teaching 3rd graders and helping them grow to love learning. Third grade is a milestone for all students as they, for the first time, take on the challenges of in depth content and assessments. This year in my classroom is structured to prepare them for these challenges and the ones ahead. However, it is my prayer that my classroom is filled with love, open to mistakes, provides corrective strategies, and assures each student that they can do and be anything.

I have been married to Troy Coffey for 27 years and we have seven children ranging from 4 to 23: Donavyn, Brenan, Hayes, Jaterria, Aniyah, Bianca, and Kiara. We live on a farm in Eli and love family dinner, laughing, and sitting around a fire. I love to cook, shop, play the piano, and sing. I often use singing and music in the classroom--to my own children's embarassment.
